Overview
Blinq and Monday CRM occupy different positions in the sales-stack hierarchy, which makes this migration distinctive. Blinq is primarily a digital-business-card and contact-enrichment platform—its data model centers on enriched contact profiles with AI-generated meeting notes, tags, qualifiers, and relationship context pulled in at the moment of connection. Monday CRM is monday.com's visual pipeline tool built on top of its Work OS board model; CRM entities (People, Organizations, Deals) are stored as items on customizable boards with column types that replace traditional field definitions. FlitStack AI maps Blinq contacts into Monday's People board, Blinq organizations into Organizations, and Blinq meeting records into custom columns or linked activity boards. The migration extracts data via Blinq's API using scoped read access, then transforms the enrichment-layer structure into Monday's board-column schema, creating the appropriate column types for text, numbers, dates, tags, and person-links. Any Blinq automations (CRM sync triggers, follow-up rules) do not export—they must be rebuilt in Monday's Automation Center using Monday's own trigger-action framework. Monday's API rate limits vary by plan tier, which determines the export pacing during the data-transfer phase. A delta-pickup window captures any Blinq records modified during the cutover window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a BlinQ object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
BlinQ
Contact
monday CRM
People Board Item
1:1Blinq contacts migrate as items on Monday's People board. Core fields (name, email, phone, job title) map to Monday's native People column types. Each contact item preserves its original Blinq create date as a custom date column since Monday's item creation timestamp reflects the migration run, not the original record date.
BlinQ
Organization / Company
monday CRM
Organizations Board Item
1:1Blinq company records migrate as items on Monday's Organizations board. Company name, domain, and industry map to Monday's text and dropdown columns. Blinq supports N:N contact-to-company associations, which Monday handles via the Person-link column pointing back to the relevant People board items.
BlinQ
AI Meeting Notes
monday CRM
Custom Text Column (People board)
1:1Blinq AI conversation notes stored on the contact record migrate into a long-text custom column on the People board item. Monday's rich-text column type preserves formatting from Blinq's note structure. Multiple notes are concatenated in chronological order with timestamp headers for reference.
BlinQ
Tags / Qualifiers
monday CRM
Tags Column (People board)
1:1Blinq contact tags and qualifiers map to Monday's native Tags column on the People board. The Tags column type accepts multiple values per item, matching Blinq's tag-multiple behavior. Blinq's qualifier scores (numeric ratings) migrate as a separate Number column for use in Monday's filtering and grouping features.
BlinQ
Meeting Record
monday CRM
Activity Sub-Board Item
1:1Blinq meeting records (attendees, date, location, notes) migrate as items on a linked Activity board with a Person-link column connecting back to the associated People board item. Monday's subitem feature is used if the Activity board is nested under the People board; otherwise a separate board with person-link column achieves the same association.
BlinQ
CRM Sync History
monday CRM
Custom Status Column
1:1Blinq tracks which CRM a contact was synced to and when. This history does not have a native Monday equivalent. FlitStack creates a custom Status column (Source_Sync_Status__c) on the People board and populates it with the last known sync target and timestamp for audit purposes.
BlinQ
Card Profile / Share Link
monday CRM
Custom URL Column (People board)
1:1Blinq digital card share links are preserved as a custom URL column on the People board. This allows Monday users to access the original Blinq card profile without re-entering data. The column is labeled Blinq_Card_URL for clarity and is not required for CRM operations.
BlinQ
Contact Owner / User
monday CRM
Person Column (People board)
1:1Blinq's assigned user per contact maps to Monday's Person column, which links to Monday workspace members. FlitStack resolves Blinq owner email addresses against Monday workspace users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration and assigned to a designated fallback owner.
BlinQ
Blinq Subscription Tier
monday CRM
Custom Dropdown Column
1:1Blinq Enterprise account data (if applicable) migrates as a custom dropdown column on the People board. This preserves the source subscription context for reporting on contacts that originated from an Enterprise Blinq account.
BlinQ
Attachment / VCard
monday CRM
File Column (People board)
1:1Blinq vCard attachments and contact card images do not have a direct native equivalent in Monday CRM's People board model. FlitStack extracts these files from Blinq, uploads them to Monday's dedicated Files section for the account, and creates a custom URL column (Blinq_File_URL) on each relevant People board item pointing to the Monday-hosted file. This approach preserves the original vCard and card imagery within Monday's file system for accessible reference.
BlinQ
Blinq Automations
monday CRM
Monday Automation Center
1:1Blinq CRM sync triggers, follow-up automations, and Zapier-based workflows connected through Blinq do not export via the Blinq API. These platform-specific automation definitions cannot be directly transferred to Monday's Automation Center due to differences in trigger-action architecture. FlitStack provides a structured automation export document listing each active Blinq rule by name, trigger type, conditions, and actions so Monday admins have a complete rebuild reference when reconstructing automations in Monday's Automation Center.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Connect to Blinq API and extract contacts, organizations, and meeting records
FlitStack authenticates against Blinq's API using scoped read access to export contacts, organizations, and meeting history. The export includes all standard contact fields, AI-generated notes, tags, qualifier scores, meeting records, card share URLs, and sync history. The Blinq account remains fully operational during this phase—only read operations are performed. FlitStack generates a data inventory report showing record counts by type and field coverage before transformation begins.
Design Monday board structure and pre-create custom columns
FlitStack delivers a Monday board configuration manifest specifying the People board, Organizations board, and Activity board structure. The manifest lists each native and custom column: name, type (text, number, date, Tags, Person-link, etc.), board location, and mapping source field from Blinq. Monday admins create the custom columns before the migration run. FlitStack validates the board schema against the manifest to confirm all target columns exist before data loads begin.
Resolve Blinq owner emails against Monday workspace members
Blinq contact owner assignments are resolved by matching the owner's email address against Monday workspace user accounts. FlitStack generates a pre-flight owner-resolution report listing matched users, unmatched owners, and assigned fallback owners. Teams update Monday user invitations or adjust the fallback assignment before the migration run to ensure every Blinq contact lands with an assigned Monday owner rather than an unlinked record.
Run sample migration with field-level verification
A representative sample (typically 200–500 records spanning contacts with and without enrichment data, organizations, and meeting records) migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing each Blinq source field against the corresponding Monday column value. This verifies that AI notes format correctly, Tags column populates with all values, Person-link columns resolve correctly, and date columns reflect original Blinq timestamps. The sample run identifies any missing columns or value-mapping issues before the full dataset commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and Monday API pacing
The full dataset migrates in batches respecting Monday's API rate limits for the target plan tier. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) opens at cutover, capturing any new Blinq contacts or updated records created during the migration run. FlitStack monitors Monday API response rates and adjusts batch sizes dynamically to avoid DAILY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED or CONCURRENCY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED errors. After the delta window closes, a final reconciliation report compares total Blinq record counts against Monday item counts by board.
Deliver automation rebuild reference and post-migration support
FlitStack provides an Automation Audit export documenting every active Blinq CRM sync rule, follow-up trigger, and Zapier integration by name, trigger type, conditions, and actions. This reference document is handed to the Monday admin for rebuilding equivalent automations in Monday's Automation Center. Post-migration, FlitStack offers a 14-day reconciliation window where any discovered data gaps can be corrected via targeted re-import, and one-click rollback is available if the full migration must be reverted.
